Ander Herrera hopes to play for Manchester United at West Bromwich Albion on Monday night with the help of a corset.

The Spanish midfielder broke a rib against West Ham last month and was initially ruled out for six weeks but United believe he can return in half that time and play at the Hawthorns by wearing the protective corset.

Herrera is the only one of United’s nine casualties in contention to face the Baggies.
